*Echo* mode allows you to make sensitive measurements of your own
|
*Echo* mode provides tools for two types of measurements: echoes of
|
||||||
lunar echoes even when they are too weak to be heard. Select *Echo*
|
your transmitted signal from the Moon, and broadband noise power
|
||||||
from the *Mode* menu, aim your antenna at the moon, pick a clear
|
received from the Sun, Moon, and possibly other sources including
|
||||||
frequency, and toggle click *Tx Enable*. _WSJT-X_ will then cycle
|
nearby ground. In each case the system noise temperature (noise power
|
||||||
through the following loop every 6 seconds:
|
referred to the antenna terminals, expressed in Kelvin degrees) serves
|
||||||
|
as the reference noise level. Such measurements are widely used for
|
||||||
|
optimizing a station's capabilities for Earth-Moon-Earth (EME)
|
||||||
|
communication.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Transmit a 1500 Hz fixed tone for 2.3 s
|
For lunar echoes, _WSJT_ generates short fixed-frequency transmissions
|
||||||
2. Wait about 0.2 s for start of the return echo
|
that alternate with reception intervals at the appropriate
|
||||||
3. Record the received signal for 2.3 s
|
Doppler-shifted frequency. With *Split Operation* set to *Rig* or
|
||||||
4. Analyze, average, and display the results
|
*Fake It* on the *Settings | Radio* tab, check *Doppler tracking* and
|
||||||
5. Repeat from step 1
|
*Own Echo* on the Astronomical Data window. Point your antenna at the
|
||||||
|
Moon and click *Enable Tx* on the main window to start a sequence of
|
||||||
|
echo measurements. Each cycle takes 6 seconds. If strong enough,
|
||||||
|
echoes will be visible in the waterfall. Their average spectrum will
|
||||||
|
be displayed in the Echo Graph window, and numerical parameters in the
|
||||||
|
main window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To make a sequence of echo tests:

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Select *Echo* from the *Mode* menu.
|
... more to come ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Check *Doppler tracking* and *Constant frequency on the Moon* on the
|
|
||||||
Astronomical Data window.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Be sure that your rig control has been set up for _Split Operation_,
|
|
||||||
using either *Rig* or *Fake It* on the *Settings | Radio* tab.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Click *Enable Tx* on the main window to start a sequence of 6-second
|
|
||||||
cycles.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- _WSJT-X_ calculates and compensates for Doppler shift automatically.
|
|
||||||
As shown in the screen shot below, when proper Doppler corrections
|
|
||||||
have been applied your return echo should always appear at the center
|
|
||||||
of the plot area on the Echo Graph window.
